@GaryAsh @GeePawHill Waxing philosophical: our problem is that we think “has a goal” vs. “doesn’t have a goal” is a true/false binary. I think we should reject such binaries more often.

@GaryAsh @GeePawHill I’m really not sure that DOGE had anything like a real goal. They were pure peacock display: “irritable mental gestures”¹ combined with “move fast and break things.”. Actual substantive, considered, lasting change would have taken way too long and too much thought. Futurism² for today: speed! speed! speed! The Machine!
